Typhoon Sinlaku Recovery: More than a month after the strongest storm of the year hit the Western Pacific, officials say Chuuk and Yap saw over 7,000 homes destroyed or severely damaged and more than 13,000 people displaced, with the regional death toll rising to 17; climate-linked ocean warmth helped fuel the storm’s rapid intensification. Local Supply Chains: Guam and the CNMI are still feeling Sinlaku’s ripple effects as shipping schedules, fuel distribution, and perishable grocery logistics recover unevenly, forcing businesses to pay for faster cargo and adjust inventory and staffing. Guam Tech & Training: UOG’s Drone Corps is opening applications for its 2026 cohort, aiming to train FAA Part 107b remote pilots with course fees covered, while NUWC Keyport highlights how instructional technology and training teams build mission-ready sailor learning pipelines. Cyber & Utilities: Auditors found Guam Power Authority didn’t revoke computer access quickly enough after employee separations, creating potential security risk. Environment & Data: Volunteers counted 269 fanihi (Mariana fruit bats) across Guam, Saipan, and Tinian to guide conservation actions, and UOG’s Soil Lab is offering free post-storm soil testing for farmers. Governance & Policy: Guam’s Decolonization Commission says it has no new updates on Bill 242-38, which would expand voter eligibility for a political status plebiscite beyond the “native inhabitant” restriction.
